I was an alchemist in those years

It was already night when I came back from Lanqing's Yiyuan. When I got home, I saw Huo Qian walking back and forth at the door without saying a word. It seemed that there must be something very difficult.

Seeing Yue Leiting coming back, Huo Qian rushed to meet him and said in a panic.

"Brother Ting, Uncle Gu is here. I have been waiting for you all night. I was going to send someone to invite you back. Uncle Gu said there is no rush. Today is your big business. He is waiting for you!"

Yue Lei Ting frowned, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Huo Qian, you usually handle things properly. When Uncle Gu came, you made him wait for me all day! Did you say anything?"

"I didn't say anything, just enjoying the cool in the garden, Liu Hao is with him now."

I saw that Yue Leiting had such a tense expression, so the person who came must be very important, just when he wanted to go back to the room with Xiao Lianshan, Yue Leiting stopped him.

"Yan Hui, you accompany me to see Uncle Gu, Lian Shan, you and Qian Ling help me arrange An Qi."

Gu Anqi can be counted as Lan Qing’s niece, she came all the way from Hong Kong alone, Yue Lei Ting would not let her live in Jin Jiang Hotel any more, anyway, there are many houses, so it’s almost more than one person, so she brought Gu Anqi along When she came back, Lan Qing repeatedly told her to take good care of the old man's daughter.

If it is said that Yue Leiting is completely out of affection in front of Lan Qing, but compared to the uncle that Yue Leiting is talking about now, it is obvious that the expression on Yue Leiting's face is more awed, and I seldom see Yue Leiting. Lei Ting will have a fearful look.

"Brother Ting, who is this Uncle Gu?" I followed behind and asked.

"People in their 70s don't stop at all. It's probably not a good thing to come here in the middle of the night." Yue Leiting said in a low voice, as if he didn't hear my question.

"Uncle Gu's full name is Gu Xiaotian. When he was young, he was also a powerful figure who covered the sky with his hands. People in the Tao all talk about their seniority, so they respectfully call him Uncle Gu." Huo Qian explained to me next to him.

"Over 70 years old?" I smiled in surprise and asked curiously. "They're so old, it stands to reason that they should take care of themselves, brother Ting, why are you so nervous when you hear Uncle Gu coming?"

"Go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Uncle Gu hasn't asked about matters in the past ten years. He came to me suddenly today and waited for a whole day. There must be something extraordinary that can make him dispatch. I'm afraid it won't happen. It will be a trivial matter." Yue Lei Ting said in a deep voice as he walked.

The old man sitting on the bench in the garden should be Gu Xiaotian. I haven't seen what's so great about this 70-year-old man, but judging from the way Liu Hao bowed his head beside him, he has a lot of respect for Gu Xiaotian. There is more to awe than thunder.

"Uncle Gu, you don't even say hello in advance when you come, I have to pick you up in person anyway." Yue Lei Ting walked beside him and didn't dare to sit beside him, standing beside him respectfully like Liu Hao.

"Look at your belly, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown so big." Gu Xiaotian glanced at Yue Yue and said with a smile. "You are also considered to be half in the coffin. You have to pay attention to your body, maybe you won't be able to get up in the morning."

"Hehe, what you always said is that dozens of people under your command will eat with you, and you can't take it easy if you want to. Or you are over 70 old and you are still in such a strong body. I am also thinking about working for a few more years. Just like you when you are old, wash your hands and take care of your old age." Yue Lei Ting bent over and said with an apologetic smile.

"What does it mean not to be idle? Whether you bring money with you when you die or take it away, you will lose everything when you kick your feet. This body is our own. If you want to live a few more years, you should be careful." good."

While talking, Gu Xiaotian patted the bench next to him, signaling Yue Leiting to sit down.

I looked at Gu Xiaotian from the side, he was a very ordinary old man, he needed crutches even to walk, his clothes were very simple, his hair was thin and silvery white, probably due to his age, his face was a bit shriveled.

However, Gu Xiaotian was sitting on the bench with his back straight like a sharp sword out of its sheath, giving people an inexplicable majesty. From his appearance, Gu Xiaotian was towering and the five mountains were facing the arches. Between the forehead is the palace of the servants of the field. If it is square, it will be expensive, and if it is thick, it will be rich. Gu Xiaotian is square and round, and the master will be prosperous in his later years.

And Gu Xiaotian has an iron face and sword eyebrows, the iron face person has an iron look in his air, and the sword eyebrow person has ribs like a sword, those who have this look will kill and attack decisively, and no one dares not to follow.

"Uncle Gu, you'd better go into the room to do it. If the cold weather freezes you up forever, we as juniors can't afford it." Yue Lei Ting said sincerely while supporting Gu Xiaotian's hand.

"I heard that your boy was lucky enough to find the Four Tombs of the Ming Dynasty?" Gu Xiaotian turned his head and asked indifferently.

Yue Lei Ting was taken aback, the corner of his mouth twitched for a long time, and he said with a dry smile.

"The thing that hasn't been written yet is just a clue. Don't worry, when I really find it, I will notify you as soon as possible. I will never forget the rules."

"Notify me? Hehe." Gu Xiaotian said with a disapproving smile. "Thunder, I valued you when you were young. You are ruthless, smart and loyal. The most important thing is that you dare to tell the truth. Today, I will ask you. How many days do you have to live?"

Hearing what Gu Xiaotian said, Yue Lei Ting was at a loss for a while, and said with a smile.

"You have such a strong old body, it will be easy to live to 90 years old."

"Look, it's said that the more you live, the more refined you become. Even you can't tell the truth now." Gu Xiaotian shook his head solemnly and smiled wryly. "The body is mine, so it's your turn to compliment me, Lei Ting, to tell you the truth, last month I asked someone to buy the coffin, and I chose the shroud myself. I found a piece in my hometown. Land, wandering outside for a lifetime, always want to return to the roots of fallen leaves, I don't want to be burned by someone after I die, it's better to leave a whole body."

The more thunderous the more he heard the more something was wrong, he quickly stood up and said tremblingly.

"Uncle Gu, if you always have something to say, just say it, I was brought out by you, if you point to the moon and say it is black, I will always believe that the moon is black in my whole life, whatever you always say .”

"Lei Ting, I have all the wealth and splendor in my life. At this age, I don't have the slightest interest in these things." Gu Xiaotian patted Yue Lei Ting's hand and smiled peacefully. "You also know that I started my family by digging up the tombs of the dead. There have always been rumors about the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty in my business. I heard people mention it when I was young. You said that such a big treasure house, who wouldn't want it? It's a pity. Without this fate, your life is good, and you actually found it, but there are mountains of gold, silver and jewels inside, can you eat them all by yourself? I am afraid that you have not eaten your mouth yet, and your life has already been taken into it .”

"Uncle Gu, I only recently found out about the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. By chance, I found some clues, but I really don't know where the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty are."

"What's the use of telling me these things? You should know the rules when you're in this business. We belong to the lower class among the three religions and nine schools. If there are no rules, we can't be Fangyuan. To tell you the truth, many people outside heard that you got the golden dragon tortoise. Mausoleum, want to move you."

"Want to touch me?!" Yue Lei said with a fierce face. "These grandsons are tired of their jobs, and they're trying to make me more thunderous. Let them come. I'll even prepare the coffin and wreath for them."

"Lei Ting, you have been in the industry for so long, why don't you understand the principle of gathering money and people together." Gu Xiaotian said with a meaningful smile. "People die for money, not to mention that you are now holding a treasury that is incomparably rich. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. How many people do you have? Are you going to make enemies of everyone in the industry? You will soon become the target of public criticism." Well, when that time comes, you’ll be like a rat crossing the street and everyone will beat you up, don’t say you found the tomb of the Fourteenth Ming Dynasty, my own coffin and shroud might have to be used by you first.”

Huo Qian brought a cup of tea with just the right temperature to Gu Xiaotian, and said modestly.

"Uncle Gu, you have been waiting here for a whole day. Brother Ting was brought out by you alone. You are always the most popular in the circle. Please show Brother Ting the way."

"Yes, Uncle Gu, you keep saying what should I do now?"

"A lot of people have come to me, saying that you are more thunderous and want to eat alone. I swallowed the Ming Tombs by myself. I will suppress you for the time being. Although I am old, my words are still useful now, but the following group will excite you. There is an explanation in general."

"Uncle Gu, how about I ask these people out to talk?"

"You really think of yourself as a character. People listen to what you say in your three-acre land, and people from other places will buy your account?" Gu Xiaotian said lightly.

"Uncle Gu, tell me, I'll listen to you!" Yue Leiting sat down on the bench again.

"I have already arranged for you. You hand over the golden dragon tortoise. On the seventh day of next month, according to the rules of the industry, there will be a public competition. The winner will take the dragon tortoise. If you have no skills, don't blame others. The competition will be conducted by me. It is fair and reasonable. No one dares to disobey."

"An open competition?" Yue Lei Ting asked hesitantly after thinking about it. "Uncle Gu, what is this competition like?"

"The Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty are rumors in the Fengshui world. Let's compare them according to the five Taoist arts, such as phase, divination, mountains, fate and fighting skills. You can know whether it is a mule or a horse." Gu Xiaotian said while looking at Yue Leiting. "With Huo Qian by your side, the chances of winning are quite good, but in the industry, there are three religions, nine streams, hidden dragons, crouching tigers, dragons and snakes. In the end, whether the Ming Tombs belong to you or not depends on whether you are destined to bring this wealth."

After Yue Lei Ting listened to Gu Xiaotian's words, he kept nodding his head without even thinking about it.

"Uncle Gu, I will trouble you old man. Do everything according to your instructions. I will send someone to send the golden dragon turtle to you immediately."

"No need for this, you keep it for yourself, I know your character better than anyone else." Gu Xiaotian stood up and suddenly turned his head and said earnestly. "Lei Ting, you are not young anymore, what are you still arguing about... Hey, I am old, and I have a lot of trivial words. You pretend that I haven't said it. Anyway, remember that wealth is like floating clouds, not to mention that you are now Breaking off the hands and feet is enough to eat and drink, so why bother wading through this muddy water."
